Mr. Doob created a page on his site that combines four of his YouTube videos to make a larger screen that gives the illusion of watching high definition video. This is really clever and you can do it yourself if you knew basic programming. You'd need to put the screens together as well as edit the high definition video into four quarters.
Implications - DIY technology is quite popular, since many people do not want to pay to have their items fixed or pay for special add-ons if they can create them themselves. Businesses that offer DIY technology give people the chance to learn about the product while enjoying it and it is a welcomed changed for people suffering from recession woes.
